Album Review
Another baffler from the Anticon collective, Why?'s Oaklandazulasylum has more to do with awkward oddball folk than underground hip-hop, despite the presence of pungent beats on a handful of tracks. If you can get past the clothespin-on-nose delivery — a cross between Big Bird and the wiry one from They Might Be Giants — and the constant up-and-down swoops and dives in which it's delivered, the album has a certain sense of awkward, ramshackle charm that's frequently unhinged and claustrophobic at once. Anticon followers will lap all of this up, for sure. Others will know to steer clear from it. Incidentally, the album gets the Sentridoh Tortoise Award for Horrifically Scrawled "Ha Ha We Don't Care" Graphic Design.
Customer Reviews
Amazing!
Darker and less structured than Elephant Eyelash, Oaklandazulasylum is full of interesting yet short lived ideas. If you give it a close listen, this album will most likely have you hitting repeat without ever getting bored!
why?'s best
this is why?'s best work. buy now. but not here. go to your local, independent record store. find this cd and buy it there
The album isn't great but it's ten times better than this reviewer
I hate the guy who wrote the itunes review. I understand WHY? is quirky and this is certainly their most unstructured album but come one, at least explain why you don't like the album and give an objective critique instead of listing the things you don't like and being wry about it. Have some objectivity as well, not everyone is as bitter about music as you. I feel like this guy hates his job or his life or something and the only way to let it out is to beat up on bands that are actually trying to inject some innovative style into a saturated and commercialized arena of "indie-rock" bands. Also, that stab at their "we don't care" design wasn't funny and shows your ignorance more than anything else.
Anyone who's open minded about music, give WHY? a try. This album is ok but Elephant Eyelash is a great album and a great intro into the band. Their succeeding albums only get better.
